Mom?

Okay we are listening. How do you know Serana and my mother?
A smile returned to Auriel's face as she overheard the visitor's conversation. So she had not been wrong, the man was indeed Aello's son, and therefore her stepbrother.
"I know Serana because I'm her boss' boss' boss. As your companion stated, I am one of those "criminals" from the Rising Star. We recruited Serana oh, about ten hours ago. And as for how I know your mother, well, she also happens to be my mother, which makes us..." Auriel's smile widened, "...stepsiblings."
"Auriel Nahema, at your service," she said, bowing dramatically. "So what did dear mum decide to name you?"

Jack was a bit shocked when Auriel said she was his step sister as he dropped his jaw. He never thought he would ever meet any of his siblings, much less within the few months he had been wandering about since he left home. For a moment he almost forgot what he wanted to say since he had so many questions to ask Auriel. However since he had a suspicious nature he decided to see what she knew about Aello as he was confused.

Jack: Wow.............your.........we are?.......... So you are my sister? Wow! Honestly I never thought I would ever meet any of you, especially so soon......Wow!

LeLu: Congrats Jack. This is good news...right?

Jack looked at LeLu who was both beautiful an simple in her thinking. She was far to trusting and that is why she ended up as a slave. Jack blamed her father for sheltering her to much and now that she is alone she has no real survival skills. So Jack decided to take her under his wing since she became dependent on him and also because she went and performed an elven marriage bonding ritual on them. If he ditched her now he would hate himself. Though he did find her very attractive and her huge "personalities" were extremely tempting, he wanted to get to know her first. He smiled at her as he decided to test Auriel first as they made small talk.

Jack: Yes it is LeLu. (looking at Auriel) So tell me Auriel what type of training did mom give you and did she have any odd sleeping habits with you?

Jack was wondering if Auriel was telling the truth so he asked questions that Aello would only show a child of hers through her normal behavior. Jack remembered the harsh training of martial arts and magic Aello made him learn everyday before she would give him an insane exam like on his 18th birthday when he had to rescue her from slavers after she pretended to be a helpless slave. He also recalled her obsessive need to cuddle while sleeping and the close calls he had as he was getting closer to 21 when she almost feed off him. If Auriel was really his sibling she would know of Aello's motherly like charms.
